Annoying! Why and how did this app get downloaded on my phone without me personally downloading it?!?! One day it just appeared on my phone! And it automatically made it my default for text messages and calling without me choosing it as the default! I uninstalled it and then it came right back! Ever since it just showed up on my phone my phone just keeps randomly rebooting itself at random times multiple times throughout the day! I can be in the middle of a call and it will just turn off!

I was hoping to replace this app with one that's about to be replaced but I'm rethinking the decision. The app insists on wanting to display messages on top of other apps and while there's a toggle off switch, each time the app starts it imposes the need to turn on this feature. I also found it to be slow for an SMS app which shouldn't be doing much more than messaging, which for me just text.

I am using android, probably should not have chosen a messaging app from iPhone keyboard, but I liked it because it was not sharing my data. Anyway, I chose English during the set up, but all the messages I send or receive, have a foreign, Chinese, or Japanese symbol in front of or behind them. probably will have to delete this app.
